I used to be hidden in the facade of an extrovert. Now I’m visible as the introvert I am. And I’m grateful for my introversion for it’s supportive nature to my healing journey. Auto Immunity is not a week of rest to feel your best disease.
I was reading the Tao and the 61st verse speaks and counsels to essentially laying low to make the forceful energy grow still. That is where peace is found. That’s what a healing journey requires too.
I’m not able to force outcomes to heal. I am not able to speed up the outcomes either. But what I can do is take the time to study for knowledge, practice my learning and observe for outcome; then tweak as needed over time and over time again and again and again. Listening to your body is the real “muscle” of laying low when you are healing.
Do I want to be back in the yoga studio? Yes! Would I love to sweat to the cyclical rhythm of the elliptical, playlist bass beat in my ears? Yes! But it’s not for now. One day (hopefully soon) my body will whisper to me “it’s time”. But until then, I rest. I eat quality food. I say no even when everyone feels I should say yes…My power to heal is in laying low.
